Magical monochrome moments...

"Nature always wears the colours of the spirit."
Walt Whitman

These dainty little dry chokoo flowers, in delicate shades of ochre and burnt sienna and burnt umber, carpeting the earth below the tree, beckoned me. I collected a handful and spent a long time admiring the ethereal beauty of these monochrome blooms and wondered about the marvellous ways of nature. Of how, even in the last lap of their lives, in their now monochrome avatars, these dainty little flowers could so selflessly make me smile, make my spirit lighter, made me see magic, make my wispy wings unfurl...

Ah, if we humans, with lives so much more longer, could spread even one little bit of that magic, while we are still cloaked in a myriad colours...

And this morning's monochrome, yet utterly magical experience added a special meaning, a new resolve to my day.
